My neighborhood is four streets named for birds, one being Swallow. We live next to the high school so that sign gets stolen every couple years or so. ---

West of Grass Valley, CA there’s a Rough and Ready Highway. Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but “Rough and Ready” sounds vaguely sexual to me. ---

Loads in the UK. There’s Cockermouth Close in Leamington Spa. A couple Penistone roads, and the village of Twatt in Scotland. There are a couple books by Dominic Greyer called _Lesser Spotted Britain_ and _Far from Dull and other places_ that show funny or interesting place names. ---

Ottawa CAN has an intersection of Trump and Celebration. Montreal CAN has a street named “Trésor Caché” (Hidden Treasure) Translated from French: “The mystery of the hidden treasure has never been elucidated, but one thing is certain, there must have been something fishy going on since an interview with a journalist from La Presse on this subject was published on July 5, 1900, reporting the legend of the Hidden Treasure: according to a fortune teller, a treasure of great value would have been hidden in Lachine during the Canadian-American War around 1812. Initially, the land that Romain Bélanger had bought for his son François-Xavier was vast, covering the quadrilateral formed by Lasalle Boulevard, Des Oblats Street, Clément Street, and the approaches to the Mercier Bridge (over 100 acres). In 1900, François-Xavier and his wife were elderly, and the barking of their two dogs woke them up in the middle of the night. Early the next morning, their son noticed about 6 acres from the house, near where the Immaculate Center stands today, a freshly dug hole. The scheme was repeated twice but the marauders, having most likely been frightened by the gunshot fired by the Bélangers, never returned. Even though they left a rubber (slap) as well as a pick and a shovel near the holes, the investigation did not go any further. One of the sons, more intrigued than the others, also dug…without finding anything. The rest is a legend. When Roman Bélanger acquired this land from Guillaume Imbault de Mentha in 1837, the house already had a long existence, having been built in 1740.” ---
